How to Recycle Small Appliances

How do we know that a recycler is properly recycling small appliances?

Knowing for sure if your appliances are being recycled properly is tricky. However, if the recycler is certified, chances are very high that they are recycling responsibly. Currently, there are two different accredited certification standards: Responsible Recycling Practices (R2) and the e-Stewards standards. It is recommended that you choose certified recyclers.
